Abstract
This study was set out to find an explanation for striking difference in number of terrorist attacks between France and Germany. The central argument aimed to prove that the explanation for this difference can be found in the existence of the banlieues. The segregation, marginalization and discrimination of minorities and Muslims results in resentment against the state. A comparative approach is conducted, by use of Mill’s method of difference. The cases of France and Germany are compared, in which Germany counted as a control case. The findings showed a clear difference in spatial and social segregation, as well as differences in the level of resentment against the state. By looking at different aspects of discrimination and marginalization, a clear pattern of rejection of Muslims living in the banlieues by the French state was found. These differences can thus explain the difference in number of attacks, as the findings show that there is a correlation between segregation and marginalization and radicalization.
